There are two approaches:

1. Buy LapLink and remotely operate a PC at work that executes FORMS designer or runtime and simply forwards the resulting screens to the PC at home.
2. Define the remote database in your remote PC and run FORMS locally
3. may have an advantage over 2) if you need to access the database a lot. Otherwise, you may find performance to be similar.
